The one thing I learned from this article is that reading about how CSS works really doesn’t help me. I need someone to explain it to me in person or it takes twice as long for it to make sense to me. So, this article was really difficult for me to follow.
Another thing I hated was that when I clicked on the examples, they did not show up in a different browser window. Ugh. I have done that in all of my HTML, I would expect it from this website. I’m sure it was a conscious decision by the webpage creator, but I did not like that I couldn’t compare the two webpages without clicking to open it in a different window. And honestly, I’m too lazy for that. I did really like that there were examples, but it was sometimes hard to notice the difference of the added code without going back to the previous example.
Overall, I did learn the importance of floating, which was the point of the article. I liked how the author clearly separated CSS and HTML codes by changing the design and color of it. Some articles I have read do not do that, so it’s hard to distinguish when there’s code.
The writer brought up pseudo selector, but did not elaborate on it. That was one thing int the article I had never heard of, only seen on the W3C Schools navigation bar. I don’t understand why he brought it up.
While it was a good article to read, I’ve read over it almost 3 times now and I still don’t fully comprehend. This is why I prefer learning it in class, because then we can learn and code at the same time. I wish I had looked at this article first because it would’ve helped with my website. Alas, I did not, so I figured it out on my own. My website seems to have parents respecting their floating children.
